Description of the problem	I have a 2012 ford explorer that was included in the safety recall 14s06. The pscm was reprogrammed prior to me purchasing the vehicle. Associated to recall 14s06 is the extended coverage program 15n01, which is to remain open on the vehicles that were recalled in the event that any loss of steering assist dtcs are present. My explorer has a complete loss of power steering and the dealer has noted that my entire steering gear assembly must be replaced. Ford refuses to acknowledge extended coverage 15n01. This coverage is supposed to last for 10 years and 150,000 miles. I am at 144,000 miles. Ford continues to repeat that my car is not included in the special coverage. However, publications from ford indicate otherwise. Replacement of my steering gear is $2,200. All of which should be covered by ford. My power steering and stabilitrak warnings go off and i lose power steering while driving. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed correctly by ford. Ford
